Description: A FINE PREMIUM CLOTH COPY IN DUST JACKET. Printed in full color on special papers bound in white cloth with dust jacket in keeping with the theme of the White volume. Full color throughout to represent the final phase of the Great Work which explores the Color phase of Alchemy, the 'Cauda Pavonis' or Peacock's Tail, the White phase. This purified essence splits into a vivid spectrum of colors. Orryelle uses a diverse array of media, from semi-digital (incorporating photography by the artist) and gouache to large oils on canvas with gold, silver and copper leaf, also employing egg tempera for the Renaissance Misch-technique, including the artist's own new spin on the method using peacock-egg tempera to reify an alchemical symbol with potent results. 4to.
